Surf Swim Survive — Learn to Swim. Learn to Survive.

“My daughter was very nervous about the Junior Guards program and, at the time, was a below average swimmer. After a few sessions with Dawn she became a more confident, skilled swimmer and ended up passing her test the first try. Three years later, she's about to start her third summer of Junior Guards.”

“Coach Dawn helped my son become a faster, more technical swimmer while keeping every lesson so much fun that he couldn't wait to get back in the pool.”

“Dawn was an incredible swim coach who helped my daughter dramatically improve, taking her from being over two minutes in January to passing her Junior Guards test in 1:38 in March. Her patience, technical expertise, and ability to instill the right mindset made all the difference in achieving this milestone.”

“Dawn is a fantastic swim instructor. Her lessons made our daughter a much stronger, confident swimmer — and helped her pass her Junior Guards swim test on the first try! She is signed up for JGs again this summer (she's a "B" now!)”

“My son, Grant, took Dawn's JG Prep class two years ago. He enjoyed the sessions and significantly lowered his 100m time. He went into the try outs confident and passed with a personal best time.”

“Coach Shannon made my twin daughters completely water safe — I no longer worry when they're in the pool. She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and the girls adore her.”

“Sandra was incredible with my 5-yr old daughter. She was patient, as my daughter was very stubborn and didn't want to get in the water. Sandra slowly got her comfortable and within no time gained her confidence until my daughter started swimming with ease.”

“Coach Mel has a true gift with young swimmers — my six-year-olds went from non-swimmers to confidently swimming three strokes and even working on flip turns. They absolutely love her, and swim lessons are the highlight of their week.”

“I took a first aid class to prepare for my newborn and honestly it was one of the best things I could have done. It gave me so much peace of mind and confidence as a first-time mom. I learned SO much — from what to do in emergencies to all the little things you don't even realize are important until you become a parent.”

“We took a CPR class last year. Dawn was incredible. So sweet, patient, calming, and supportive. She has such a special way of teaching that makes you feel safe, empowered, and truly cared for the entire time. You can tell how much she genuinely loves what she does and how deeply she cares about helping families.”

“SSS came to our house to teach CPR, AED and First Aid to our parent group. I left feeling so much more prepared, reassured, and grateful. I would recommend this class a thousand times to any future mom or dad.”

“Took the American Red Cross hybrid Lifeguard class. It was a fun, fast paced course that allowed me to interview for lifeguard jobs and work at the pool last summer!”

“Dawn taught us that Lifeguarding is serious responsibility. Learning from a professional truly prepared me for all the possibilities in my summer job.”

“Coach Dawn was instrumental in preparing our son for success in Junior Lifeguards, building not only his swimming ability but also his confidence and endurance in the water. This is one commitment where my son always looked forward to going.”

“Dawn worked closely with our daughter, helping her develop strong swim fundamentals, stroke technique, and stamina. She has an incredible ability to connect with kids while pushing them to achieve their best. We are so grateful for the positive impact she has had and highly recommend her.”
